tion. Ia doing this We acso5d grateful
acknowledgment and corresponding
honor TO their oomp2triota noE living.
We peFpetuate These rites IS az enduE-
ing monument 20 the tenown Of gil who
freely offered themselves that the Union
might survive. We set before as their
bright example, not less for our instruc
ton than for 0aF emulation. We eda.
cate the children by tha object lessen Of
the fathers. We exalt apd applaud
civic virtue itself and dedicate ourselves
forever to tbs practices Of t.--that civic
viEtae, which. shining cut now IN one

the natsFe aud results OF that struggle,
which cost, among other precious
